Campaigning
It's hard to run for office without campaigning, and naturally we expect nominees will want to campaign for this election. Go for it. We do ask, however, that candidates and their supporters stay within the LiveJournal Terms of Service (i.e. no spamming, no encouraging others to spam other journals on your behalf, and such activities). Candidates who wish to serve as an Advisory Board representative are asked to maintain behavior befitting the position.

Cyrillic-language users may only vote in the
lj_election_ru poll, and all other users may only vote in the lj_election_en poll. Additional restrictions include:- Only accounts created before March 31, 2009, are eligible to vote in this year’s poll.
- Only one account per email address may vote.
Tallying the results
After the polls close on June 26, 2009, we will determine the winner of the elections in the following way:
- If a user receives 51% of the first-choice vote, that candidate will be declared the winner.
- If no user receives 51% of the first-choice vote, we will begin an Instant Runoff process. The user with the lowest tally for first-choice vote will be eliminated, and the second-choice candidate on those ballots will be substituted as first choice. This process will continue (drop the lowest candidate, reassign to next vote, tally again) until any user has 51% of the vote.
- If all ballots are exhausted and no candidate has 51% of the vote, we will return to the first round and award the election to the candidate with the most first-choice votes.
